Were back from our weekend trips to Cordoba and Granada. It was quite the adventure and had a great time. 8 of us went (Ben, Shire (my roommates), Sean, Dallas, Jenny, Rachel and I), on the Fri-Sun adventure to Granada, and the trip to Cordoba was through the school and everyone came. We visited ruins outside of Cordoba from the 10th Century. Spain went through different periods of being controlled by Muslims and then by Protestants (Catholics). Most of the architecture is Muslim, and then "changed" to a more protestant style as time went on. Granada was the last hold out of Muslim territory in all
of Spain. The weather was cold and rainy but we made the most of it. The bus ride was beautiful with the mountains in the foreground, and we passed through miles and miles of olive groves.This week I have a test tomorrow (Wednesday) and I'm staying in Sevilla for the weekend. Next weekend we leave on Thursday for Barcelonia and will be there until Sunday.
Did you realize that you would be traveling so much? Sounds great! Nellie and I used to take weekend trips when we were in England. Try to see everything you can.
